It was a windy day. I had kept an empty,washed glass bottle on the patio (露台) for drying,which I intended to use for some craft (工艺品) project. Because of the wind,the bottle rolled,fell and broke on my downstairs neighbor's patio.

   My neighbor uses his patio frequently,so I immediately went down to warn him about the broken glass. However,he was not at home. I took a broom (扫帚) and cleaned up most of the mess (脏乱的东西) around his patio from outside,but there was still some broken glass left inside his patio. I didn't want to intrude (闯入) into his property (财产) ,so I left him a note that explained what happened and asked him to contact (耳关系) me,so I could clean up the mess.

   After an hour,he called me,and asked if I could help clean up inside,because he didn't have a broom.I went to his place and happily swept off his patio,clearing the broken glass.

   While I was leaving,he thanked me. He remarked that,normally,his neighbors wouldn’t even have bothered to inform (通知) him that the glass had broken,and he would have probably hurt his feet.

   I was glad to have connected with him,and extra glad that his feet were safe. And I returned home with a reason to smile for the rest of the day!
